I have been recently assigned to a project to make a website about a certain topic, and I really need your feedback! Anything would help, so please, even if its a negative or positive comment, review my website! Thanks a lot!

This website is about the differences about computer parts now and then. I have also included about 3 or 4 tips before building a computer! Hopefully I informed you about a thing or two.
